1. Don’t retwist often or as much
2. Try not to palm roll the length of your locs a lot because it restricts the thickness
3. Wear curly styles give you more volume
4. Wear hair down often (little to none manipulation)
You're the real mvp 🙌🏾
Thank you!! ❤
I had to learn ALL OF THIS on my first set... this is my second set and I totally freeformed...my hair is somewhat fine and soft and freeformimg has gave me much more thickness this go round...I also blowdry my locs upside down on cool with a hand held...in the mornings, I message my scalp upside down for a minute which give me more volume...it boils down to accepting your genetics and knowing what works best for YOUR locs... thanks for the informative video💚
Hello Desiree. My hair is fine, yet dense. In other words, each strand is fine, but I have a lot of hair. I tried starting my locs out with comb coils and i felt that was not the right way for me to go considering my hair type. so I decided to go with get my hair instant loc'd and 6 months later I haven't looked back. Not to say I don't have my own types of struggles, insecurities, and severe loc envy. Your hair is looking amazing! I dunno why I said all this, lol, but the short answer is I have fine strands, but a lot of hair. Great video! Fabulous tips!!!
My locs are thin. I have very fine and thin hair. I wanted medium to thick locs but I've learned to love mine.
Yes! That is the best thing ever. Keep on growing 🌸
Rrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
didn’t ask
Same
@@SoChrayy 😂😂
My biggest problem is COMPARING LOCS omg I wish I had started them differently.
Definitely! The best you can do is embrace what you have and try not to compare yourself but rather be inspired to love your locs even more 🌸
@Boho Trends Locs & Vlogs!
Two stranded twist. I'm considering doing that an having someone else do my parts and fewer of them too. I would have to wait until the end of the year of the start of next year.
@Boho Trends Locs & Vlogs!
Lol yes I started two stranded and yes I am considering combining them out. I started my locs myself and maintain them myself. I combined quite a few. Started out with 141 and now have 109. Reason I want to probably start over is because of all the random sized parts and different size locs. Just bothers me a bit.
Omg, I'm only a little passed 3.5 months in and i started with two strands twists. I wanted THICK so I only did 64 but I wish I did less, I just didn't want to have a scalpy look but I wish I did coils.. but I love the texture and how it looked more like a style in the beginning. Coils are more uniform and they seem to fluff up more but I wont stunt, I'm OBSESSED with them whether it's to see what they look like every five minutes or just thinking about what I could've done.
@@melaninmoet217 See, I have heard the exact opposite, that 2 strand twists typically turn out to be thicker. I do not know anymore.
How is this the first I've heard of retwisting 🤯 I have been desperately trying to find out ways to stop my roots looking so bad - I'm going to try retwisting!!!!
😁✌🏽😊💕😍 Jamaican TH-camr in the house and I start my dreadlocks journey this year. I can't wait until my hair reach the length I want it, thank you for sharing this.💕😍💕😍
Alright!!! Welcome! Sending much love to Jamaica 🇯🇲 💕 and congratulations on your Loc journey!
So... girl you are looking grown. I mean like overnight grown. You've always looked like a teenager to me. Your hair is so long now! Makeup is banging .... you look great!
I was thinking the same thing. She looks so gorgeous.
Haha! Thanks boo ... I'm trying to be mindful of how I appear to you guys ... not looking crusty and stuff lolol 🤣
Awe thank you boo! You're so sweet ❤️
I have thin hair! But I learned to embraced my locs!
Yes! & That is the best choice 🌸
You literally named everything I am doing currently with my locs I just made a year and I know now that my palm rolling is what is making my locs thin and putting it up all the time .. definitely a learning experience thanks for sharing this now I know what to do
I can relate! 🤦🏾♀️
I play with my hair daily..... bad juju! That's one of the don't do habits that are making my locs thin.... I've had mine 3 yrs now and had lots of breakage so there are quite a bit that are short now.... thanks for your info on helping us to get locs more healthy
I So Wish I Knew Tip 5:45 before My Loc Journey.
I would have Never Twisted the Whole Body of My Locs.
Doing this made my Locs Get alot thinner than I wanted them to be.
I was Going for Thick Locks.
Hindsight is 20/20 .. but your Locs are beautiful! There is always the option of combining if you really wanted to
@@DesireeMarie Aww Thank you so much.
That is True. :)
Thanks for all the tips on how to get thicker locks. My hair is soft and I have between small and medium locks, but my goal is to get my them a bit thicker. I re-twist once a month but may have to do so less frequently.
Thanks for the tips, based on your advice i feel I'm in the right track. My locs are 5 months old. They are small in diameter but I have high density hair, with fine hair strands. I'm hoping for a full looking set of locs once they mature. As I only interlock, I dont palm roll at all and I think that has helped them expand at the ends. They are fuzzy but I like it, gives them character it will be fun to see how they turn out, as I started them myself and maintain them also...loving your hair too, good tips.
Congratulations on hitting 5 months!! Ah! I love the fuzzy locs too - they certainly DO give character. Sometimes I wish I could go back to that time. You seem like you are off to a great start and you are doing well for your hair! So proud ❤️
@Boho Trends Locs & Vlogs! Aww thank you, we will get there together👊🏾 congrats on your almost 5 months too.
@@DesireeMarie ahh, you're doing good, your locks are your personal signature, as are mine that's what makes them all so beautiful and unique to each person c
Easier to not twist often when your locs are longer…not so much when they are short. The puffy roots and short little loc sticking out it is hard to pull off 🥴
I haven't retwisted my hair in 3 going for the 4th month now.Patience!
Great tips!I'm 16 months next week with thin strands
Thank much this is how we love our self the soul💕👍
Your tips are captivating ma'm. I kinda fill convinced and satisfied. Weldon. Good job.
Thank you for the info on palm rolling. I just retwisted yesterday and did the big No No and did that palm rolling down the length of my locs. My locs are 13 months. Won't do that again. Oh! You just helped me with a great idea for a wedding I'm going to. I'm going to be a bridesmaid and I was trying to figure out how to style my locs. CURLS!!! Yes imma do the Desiree Curls lol
Congratulations on hitting 13 months! I am sure you were excited to reach 1 whole year 😆 .. YES girl try the curls! You will fall in love!!!
Would you suggest retwist every 6 weeks is good?
Desiree, I love your hair and the thickness!
Thanks boo! ❤️
Same! When I first started my locs they were so cute and frizzy and thicker. I didn’t know that I shouldn’t palm roll with every retwist so now they look thinner 😩 been loc’d for almost 3 years and they’re past my shoulders but I’m almost considering cutting them off and starting over so I can get the thickness back 😢
Right now my baby locs have an attitude😭
Lmblol..that's VERY normal ..! My locs KEPT an attitude in the beginning!! 🤣🤣
I love this style on you....my locs or medium-thick I’d say...thanks for the tips
Your locs look just like mine and I am definitely learning how to care for them.
The video was good. I like how to trick people to make them feel you have thick locs. It was edifying. Thank you
all great information I wish I had years ago! My hair is gray now and locs are very thin. I wonder if I take your advice even now, will they thicken up.
Thank you so very much. Thin locs want to semi free form hair is extremely short, but i am going for it. Any other tips helpful.
I wish i have saved all the hair i have shedded all these years 😩. I could have easily interlocked the hair to my locs now
I’ve had my locs for two years now , I love love love my baby’s. The thing is , my edges , front and back, tend to thin over anything. And my locs are like a sponge, if I don’t put water on them they look thin to me. My edges are smaller than the middle on my head . Lately I’ve been moisturizing, and putting my silk bonnet on . I am currently looking for better products.
I have 60 locs and they still ain thick as I was hoping😩... to think i first started with 100 my mom kept saying they would be small due to my texture and density... I didn’t believe her lol now I do! Oh well... Such is life!!! 😂💀
Same here girl. I also have about 60 locs and a lot of them are thinner than a #2 pencil 😭.
Bianca yes! I have a few like that I’m like wth!!! These aren’t going as planned at all! 😂😂... but that’s part of the journey... you truly never know.
So are they spacey?
You are obsessed with loc videos got damn 🤣
You are right. Your hair look really nice.
Thank you so much ❤️
Enjoyed this video. My locs are thinning at the roots I'm considering cutting them off and start over. I will be 60 and I believe their thinning due yo age as well. Just wish I would of done things differently I have an appointment tomorrow I'm thinking just getting a color, wash and conditioner and no retwist its been two months since last retwist I really can go longer
Your locks looks beautiful and thick I try not to retwist often too great lock journey I am on mine too 🙏🙏
I retwist my dreadlocks every 6 months to a year been growing my dreadlocks 14 years.
I have 290 locs. They are full but seems to be thinning at the roots on top. I was retwisting every 8 weeks.
I’m finna add some Afro hair to mine, they good size but just want them a lil bit thicker lol
Thanks for the tip on palm roll & only re-twist the roots. I didn’t know that and I been doing palm roll for the past 4 years now because that’s what the salon tells me to do 😐 and the salons do way too tight, where I get headaches for 3 days straight and I have to take pain killers 😖. I really do think they weaken my locks. I wish I done it all my self at home to begin with.
You are not alone on the headache,my sometimes last for 1 week or two and I sometimes bleed due to too much tightness,I have change my stylist and am enjoying it now
Update: I’m in my 4th year now and I’m still strugglin… but doing what i can
My hair is thin, different textures all over, and annoying. I do agree if i were to leave them out, they may thicken but insecurity and patience is real. I keep my locs braided with either extensions or braided under crochet. Length wise they are growing well... filling out... extremely slow. I’m aware that it won’t get better unless i become more comfortable in its natural state however, i also do not have it monetarily for further support. I have researched and gathered the best insight possible to help such as routines that incorporate holistic products. The difference in thickness throughout my scalp is ridiculous though and I’m starting To think i May have an issue with my scalp; possibly traction alopecia. Figuring out maintenance plus scalp treatment has been a pain. 😔 I’ve always wanted locs. I’ll be a year in come 1st of January but feel the opposite of excited. Sorry to ramble but i found your video informative and your spirit humbling. Thanks for sharing.
I feel this same way
Have you ever worn your locs in a 2 strand twist?? Not a loose 2 strand twist but leaving the actual twist in??? If not i bet that would look really nice! If you need a video idea consider that one😊
Ah! Thank you, I sure will do that soon. I have been thinking of doing twists or even braids to change things up a bit ... will certainly do in the next coming days 💕
And no need to add any hair....twist or braids on your locs will be beautiful, and then you get a second style once you take them down! Looking forward to that video and anything else you come up with.
I just did a retest and now my hair looks flat smh… before the root was full and made the rest stand up. But I guess it will grow back around the roots and next time I won’t touch the roots
Locs compress over time no matter what you do. Your locs would have turned out how they are regardless :) I love your channel and your locs ❤️
Thank you boo! I enjoy having you apart of the crew ❤️
Hey those r pretty how often do you ever interlocks
😂 @“ain’t nobody got time for that!”
That part had me dying 😂
I’ve been following you for 3 years now since you started your locs just 3 months before me with a similar length of hair. I always look at your locs and the length and how they grow in comparison to mine lol which I know I shouldn’t do but yours are growing way faster. I’m sad mine are growing slowly but at least they’re growing🤷🏾♀️ lol
Thank you for your love and support! I love that you have been following my imperfect journey and that we are about the same Loc age! Don't be discouraged, your hair is definitely growing - you probably do not even realize. Have you tried taking pictures every so often?
Desiree Marie oh yes I definitely take lots of pics and videos (maybe too much lol) they’re definitely growing though. Just slowwwwly 😁
Aww...your locs are unique❣️
And your locs are also the goal of some people 🤧
My love are thin my the top of my head is thin I want them more thicker at the top .thank you for the advice
You look amazing and your locs are gorgeous! Wondering how mine will look at the little over 3ish year mark🤔 (got about 5 more months to go) Seems likes your locs just took off growing once you got to around the two year mark (?). I have thin hair. It’s best for me to keep my hair curled, and retwisted every 2 to 3 months(I know some people are like 😳...😂). It’s amazing how curling not only ‘camouflages’ my unkempt roots, but the true length of my hair. I always have to do a double take when I wash it and I say is all of that MY hair????😂 Love and continued Blessings to you! I am so proud of you. 💖
Thank you girl and yessss for almost hitting 3 years! How cool that you stuck through it ❤️ haha! Yes girl your hair is DEFINITELY growing! Don't you love that double take moment and to know that it IS all of yours! 😆💕
Desiree Marie makes me wanna cry every time I look at my hair. I never thought (could have imagined) I would have hair down my back!!!!😍
I have both skinny n thick I’m tryna have all thick 🥺 there Medium length right now past my ear length
You look like Holly Robinson
i’ve gotten instant locs and i’m about to week in . they’re really thin will they get thicker over time ?
I have thinner locks. Mine’s always seem to be dry and dull looking. Any tips for that?
Yaa so interesting learning sis,but I need your help, how I can keep my dreadlocks hair for more than 3years without going to salons to do it repair or to work on it bcz where I work I can't visit or go to salons plz friends help me
I have locks on and I decided to do braids to have a different look will it affect my locks
This is all right,
With my grade of hair I actually braid mines at the root!!
my locks are long ,right above my butt but I have thin hair naturally which is why im watching this video. i feel like i have the thinnest hair in locs in the world
I feel exactly the same way about my locs
like i fr messed mine up i didn’t know i was ruining it until over a hear later and i fr got thinning at the roots because i kept trying to manipulate it 🤦🏾♂️
Another great video... I’m glad I stumbled on your videos,... thanks.... I won’t be Palm rolling
My hair is fine and curly I wanted mine smaller but I can agree don’t get retwists as much now I retwist at least every 2-3 months
I’m 3 weeks into my journey ❤
Thank you sister
Great video and tips. Thank you
I just got mines yesterday and I’m really really sad about to cry because in my head I thought if they’re skinny my head will before and I know since I I do have a lot of hair but it’s not thick hair so it wasn’t for now I’m stuck with flat skinny locks and I just wanted it to be voluminous a lot and now I don’t know what to do because now I actually want thick lox
Thank you for the tips ❤️☺️ And I’d say mine are diverse lol some are medium normal and some are a little large.
Can l pour water on my locks?

Thank you love! 🌸
🖐🏽tks 4 sharing 👑 I have thin soft hair since 3 mOnths nOw I've been dreading but I have 2 twist Often it keep coming Out💭 hOw can I make mi lOcks thicker N stay lOck✌🏽💪🏾🔥❤
As always, these are great tips. Thank you so much. I am six weeks loc’d and I have only retwisted my hair once. My plan for now is to retwist once a month. My hair is fine and my locs are thin right now, but I am hoping they will thicken up some as they mature. I actually love the size of your locs. I keep my hair covered in a satin bonnet most of the time, except when I leave the house. I lightly moisturize and separate them at least every other day. I have a lot of fizz, which I love and embrace. Do you think it is okay to keep them in the bonnet the majority of the time? I don’t want to do anything that will interfere with their development. I wear the bonnet to minimize lint. What do you think?
Congratulations on your 6 weeks! I'm so excited for you! You have a nice journey ahead of you ❤️ I think you are definitely off to a great start! You are already doing what is needed to protect your hair and allow it to flourish on its own. One thing I will recommend is that you allow it to air out but other than that amazing job! ❤️
Desiree Marie Thank you. Be blessed.❤️
Boho Trends Locs & Vlogs! Thank you.
Boho Trends Locs & Vlogs! Yes, I am very excited about them. Congratulations on your third set. I’m sure each set is special!😊
Boho Trends Locs & Vlogs! Wow! What an interesting and beautiful journey. Your locs are absolutely gorgeous! ❤️❤️❤️ Thanks for sharing. I subscribed. 😊
Hallo..my locs are thick..and i wanna make them thin..what do i do?
Ay it’s all in the journey 💯💯👊🏾
This was very informative 👏🏽
Just retwist only the roots that's what I do
@Gregory Miller why?
@@rashawnwordlwide they go get to heavy and thin on the roots 😂
@@rashawnwordlwide depends on your hair but with dreads in general if you want to embrace the frizz when starting just retwist the roots
You look fabulous!!!!💕😍
Thank you beautiful 💕
I take good care of my hair but they jus starting gettin thin last year . And I don’t know how
What's your thoughts on 2 headed Locs..I Have about 3 sets of them I'm my High Top Locs, and I'm not even 2 years in until December😭😭.. I'm trying to learn to embrace them. I had 1 cut out once before during a retwist.
I still have baby locs but my hair is fine with normal to medium density.
Your locs are beautiful
Well aren’t you a looker?!!! You look so regal! Now... back to the video lol.
Aweee why thank you love! I so appreciate it 💕
Re-twisting your locks once a month will break your locks to. In the Caribbean they don’t re-twist it that often either. You need to space out the re-twisting a bit more longer than that.
Is that suggestion for baby locs before a year or mature locs? It seems like once they are mature its easier to go a longer time. I’m asking because I’m on 2 months in.
Yes I get retwist every 4-6 months and everyone always comments on how thick my locs are. I don’t want thin locs. Mine are unique to me and no one else.
I love this video but one thing I didn’t hear you say hair density that means a hell of a lot because if you’re has nothing regardless of what you do I don’t know it’s not gonna get thick And we always comparing my hair to somebody else you can’t do that you should appreciate what God gave you and go with it what am I saying just be grateful that’s all I’m saying
I never realized i needed this
I,have, medium locs 😍
My locs roots are very thin in my last rowhelp!!!!
Your channel is well on it's way, as long as you give the time out of your day to your video maine....barz
Great video Sis
I have thin locs. One year in! I enjoyed your video and look forward to seeing more
did it work?
You and your hair..... so pretty
I've been retwisting my hair every month and only a few of my locs near the scalp are thin. Is it cuz my new growth isn't growing into the loc or is retwisting every month too soon for me?
I have no time to start over....too much time, energy, hair lose....I'll go thru the processes
Hey des , what’s the best thing to wash my dreads in ? I have had my dreads for 2.5 years can I put conditioner in it? This video help me understand how I can get them thicker thanks , I have medium thick dreads
thank you
First time here but i must say u really organized
Thanks for the video I am a little over 2 months locked. My hair is fine and soft. I tend to wash my hair monthly and retwist every 2 weeks. The first time with aloe vera gel and 2nd retwist with joiegel. My hair unravels very quickly so that is why I retwist so often. Any suggestions
Hey love! Congratulations on your 2 months! I'm so excited for you! Have you thought about interlocking? It's not something I am too familiar with however my mom (who does have locs and a looser texture that is prone to unraveling) has done that for most of her loc journey.
@@DesireeMarie no I haven't but i might need to look into it. Thanks
so my thinning locks will they thicken up or do i need to add extensions?? i dont want to double them. im 7 years in and they are half as thick as they were 2 years ago. i have thick african hair naturally. i stopped palm rolling and im not twisting as much and im moisturizing more than i was. i dont want them to look thicker i want them to be thicker lol
I’m in a similar situation. Have a head full of hair, 5 years in, most of my locs are still thick as original, but there are a few that are super thin. I also need to get out of the habit of playing in my hair. Kind of like an auto-pilot thing.
My hair only in the back is thinning from the root
